+
+We are excited to hold the next "DuckCon" DuckDB user group meeting for the first time in the birthplace of DuckDB, **Amsterdam**, the Netherlands. The meeting will take place on February 2, 2024 (Friday) in the [OBA Congress Center’s XXX theater](https://www.obacongres.nl/congres-&-beurs), five minutes walking distance from Amsterdam Central Station.
+
+Conveniently, the event is co-located in time and space with the [FOSDEM conference](https://fosdem.org/2024/) that will start the following day in Brussels (February 3-4). Participants could for example choose to attend DuckCon, then take [a direct train from Amsterdam Central Station to Brussels](https://www.thetrainline.com/book/results?origin=urn%3Atrainline%3Ageneric%3Aloc%3A5894&destination=urn%3Atrainline%3Ageneric%3Aloc%3A5974&outwardDate=2024-02-02T18%3A15%3A00&outwardDateType=departAfter&journeySearchType=single&passengers%5B%5D=1996-10-04%7Cd34963f0-4e57-422e-a8be-848783b83a2d&directSearch=false&selectedOutward=C1SRpGy5UVI%3D%3ACwVMIYhanGk%3D%3AStandard).
+
+As is traditional in DuckCons, we will start with a talk from DuckDB’s creators [Hannes Mühleisen](https://hannes.muehleisen.org/) and [Mark Raasveldt](https://mytherin.github.io/) about the current state of DuckDB and plans for releasing DuckDB version 1.0. This will be followed by two presentations by DuckDB users.
+
+In addition, we will have several lightning talks from the DuckDB community.
